Re: Good HostAP card for OpenBSD

Firmware revision 1.4.2 broke hostap mode. Upgrade to 1.4.9 or 1.5.6. You
can download an upgrade from demarctech.com.

I grabbed a Linksys pci card I had, and openbsd works fine with it but it doesn't seem to work in hostap mode.  IBSS works fine, and as far as I can tell from the bits of documentation I can find, it *should* work in hostap mode because it's a prism2.5-based card.
